The Journal of Linguistic Anthropology (JLA), a semiannual publication of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA), a Section of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), welcomes contributions of relevance to linguistic anthropology. Articles, while presenting research results, should develop general theoretical implications and larger issues of debate. Such articles may vary in length, but submissions should not normally exceed 10,000 words (inclusive of notes but not bibliography). Other contributions might include critical essays, interviews, commentaries, discussions, brief translations, and reviews of recent books in linguistic anthropology and closely related topics.
All issues of the JLA, from 1991 to the present, are available on AnthroSource, and on Wiley, where you can sign up for table of content alerts. On this site you can read policies for submitting articles to the JLA, find subscription and ordering information, learn more about the journal’s editors and editorial board, and explore multimedia content for our web enhanced articles.
